I've realized this today as I've encountered a group of players who chased me for about 15-20 minutes. I try to lose them in the forest, got them seperated and 1 of them got a lucky shot and killed me. I've restarted on the same server, I finally understood the whole concept of not typing in chat :) Even when players ask questions.. that extra second you take to press the chat key and write a message, it could be the end of that life for you. So I'm sticking with a group of guys for now. We have a small base setup and we're doing well.

I know.. I believe in karma haha, besides I've come to realize a new player will get hungry for good equipment therefor will work hard to find it. I found a decent camp location. Setup a tent, put some goods in it, I track the players and wait for them to equip good gear before claiming my prizes :). I believe its either I hunt them down, or they will want my loot when they find me. I've also stopped looking for a map now. I got my GPS and compass and it works great.

I still havn't found a map.. But now I got myself a GPS, Im using it like a boss! Also got my hands on a compass. I had a decent rifle but ran out of ammo. Guess Ima keep stocking up on goodies before I head out to a camp or fixing myself a car. The map problem might of been just me, I re downloaded, havn't found a map since but I hope to get lucky enough to loot 1 soon. Thanks for all the tips and hints. Finally survived a full 24 hour now. '' Only playing in nighttime tho" Hope to have the oppertunity to play during the day soon.

Thanks a whole bunch for the useful tips :). I've been surviving quite longer... havn't died since the post haha! *Knock on wood* I'm slightly curious tho, its always night time when im playing, is this something normal? is it due to the fact that I play during the evening at home that it's night time? or is there a game time as well? and how long is it in intervals, I played a server about 4-5 hours.. and the moon didn't even budge during my whole time playing.... If i'm going to end up playing at night the whole time... is there nightvision goggles that I can get my hands on? I try to drop chemsticks at quick spots so I can find a quick entrance when being chased by a mob of zombies.. But chemsticks and a flashlight only get you so far at night LOL! @Penny Sue, I'm more of a scavenger, I don't kill a player unless I absolutely must (basically I shoot or try to kill what attacks me). As for blood bags and what not, if I find 1 i'll take it but they don't seem to be a necessity if you play smart and patient.

So i've recently been hoppin back and forth from 1 server to another and can't seem to live for more then a few hours. I simply get lost somewhere random and can't find a way back so I get tired and hungry and simply die. I've looked at tutorials and read a bunch of topics on here and it seems as tho i'm doing everything right... I simply can't find a map of the game i play in.. I dont quite understand, i've searched and found the tiny bags they say they are in.. still nothing, i've searched pretty much as far as I can search and still nothing. I'm also playing alone, looking to find a great community to just play with. Lookin for french/english community if possible.
